We greatly enjoyed this experience! We loved getting to meet and feed Icelandic horses. Barnafoss was frosted with snow and picturesque. The drive onto the glacier was well worth the trek. There were white out conditions on the glacier itself so there wasn't much to look at on the way up or down. The glacier guides kept us entertained though by sharing information and stories. The ice cave/tunnel was impressive to see and learn about. We give high praise to Ryan and Karen from Into the Glacier. The hosts at the horse stables were lovely too! Some suggestions we would give as things we would change would be clarification on the pick up location at the beginning of the tour. There wasn't an option to change the pick up location when booking the excursion. We were under the impression that we would have to find our own way to BSI. Then at 9pm the night before our scheduled tour we were sent an email saying we needed to select a pick up location more than 24 hours prior or risk our booking being canceled. We attempted to do it ourselves but we kept getting an error message that our booking number was nonexistent. It was quite stressful but thankfully Janna was able to help us sort it out via the chat feature on the app. I also want to add that riding in the Arctic Adventures vehicle was quite the experience. We don't know if it was the combination of windy weather and rough roads or the fact that our driver seemed to be speeding from place to place but it made for a rather bumpy ride. We were glad we had our seat belts on. All in all, we had a grand adventure full of great memories and we would highly recommend it to others!
